In my ever-continuing quest to expose myself to more and more byzantine music, and musical "composers," I was wondering if anyone knew of some good sites to find different Byz Music texts online.

I have been very pleased with the texts St. Anthony's has put out (in both pseudo-Elizabethan and modern English) - they transpose music from some very good musicians that is well known and very beautiful.

Cleveland, thank you for starting this thread. Like you, I am also actively committed to keeping current with the latest in Orthodox liturgical music, although the tradition I know best is Slavic rather than Byzantine.

To the rest of you who visit this thread, I would also like to receive links to more Orthodox liturgical music web sites. Byzantine for Cleveland and Slavic for PeterTheAleut... (although I can imagine that our interests do cross over to some extent)

http://chant.hchc.edu - a nice site to get some overviews and some snazzy tie-ins; however, the cantors who have provided their voices for the recordings that accompany the sheet music did not follow the music, and thus the sound will often deviate from the sheet music.

http://sgpm.goarch.org - a gateway into the St. Gregory Palamas site. No audio files, but the site includes a) sheet music for common hymns and such, and b) bilingual texts for Sunday matins throughout the year, according to the Typikon of the Great Church. THe texts of the hymns are bilingual Greek/English or English only, and the texts of the beginning of matins (until the end of the Great Litany) are available bilingual Greek/English or Greek/Spanish (or maybe it's English/Spanish - I don't remember).

http://www.ec-patr.net/ - the music section of the EP's site. Mostly audio, if I remember correctly, of the various Protopsaltis' (1st cantor, who leads the right choir) of the throne, and the various Lambadarios' (2nd-Cantor, who leads the left choir).

We owe greater gratitude to those who humble us, wrong us, and douse us with venom, than to those who nurse us with honour and sweet words, or feed us with tasty food and confections, for bile is the best medicine for our soul. - Elder Paisios of Mount Athos

Started by an HC grad who is really into the chanting thing... when he's done with it, it will probably be one of the most complete sites online (his personal collection from the major cantors is impressive - all of the clips gotten from former students who recorded them or got them from the cantors themselves).http://archondes.com/
